March 20, 2002 - (Wednesday)
Not much to report today. Got up, got weighed, gained 1 pound :o( and started my day. I guess the whole weighing everyday sucks. I really just can't stay away from the scale...so I just torture myself..haha. Anyway, not gonna go ballistic over the one pound gain. I have been doing everything I'm supposed to do, including exercise, so hopefully I will drop a few more before I go on vacation on Saturday morning. Going to go out to dinner tonight to a restaurant that has "pasta night", not going to get pasta, just a salad, but I love their salad there and have been looking forward to this meal for several days. They also have fresh mozzarella cheese at this small salad bar, that will help me with my protein!! Funny, but I'm sitting here all ready to go since around 1:00, not TOO anxious, hehe!!! Everything else is great, work, my kidneys, my pouch...all in working order... :) Oh well, guess you can really see I have absolutely NOTHING to say today, so I'll write again before I leave on vacation. Have a great day, till next time....
March 21, 2002 - (Thursday) HAPPY SPRING!!
Well, last night's dinner was terrible. We went to have the salad bar and I especially was going and longing for the light ranch dressing they have, it's sooooo yummy!! Well, I order the salad bar and go to the big bowl of salad greens and choose each leaf soooo carefully, only to have my craving dashed by NO LIGHT RANCH DRESSING!!! Gasp!!! It ruined my meal...I huffed and puffed, made a huge deal (ok, only to my Mom) and asked the waitress to see if they had ranch in the kitchen, she came back apologetically and said, nope, we were really busy this weekend (St. Patty's Day, I guess) and there isn't any back there. :'( She then suggested, do you like Blue Cheese? I'm like, "No I only can have the light ranch". And pouted some more. I was so depressed...I was waiting since last week to dig into that salad bar and waaah waaah baby!!!! LOL It's funny now, but I was truly devastated. I'm a BIG BABY, I know, but I wanted that soooo badly!!!! Oh well, maybe next time (I will be away next Weds. so we'll have to try it out when I return from FL). Nothing else is doing, holding at 70.5 pounds and all is good. Had Chinese food for dinner (Shrimp w/Chinese veggies) and it was really good.
Anyway, not sure I'll have time to post again tomorrow, going to my niece's school play in the city (and have to leave around noon tomorrow), so I doubt I'll have the time to update my journal to say adios and I will be back in a week!! Have a Happy Easter and don't eat too much chocolate or marshmallow Peeps!!! Until next time....
April 1, 2002 (Monday) -
I guess it is April Fool's Day since GEOCITIES is all messed up and all my new links won't work (see index page with all the manual link entries)....sheesh, it's a mess. Don't know if what I'm doing tonight will work or not, but here's a little entry from my post-vacation. Well for starters, I was sick most of the week with a horrendous cold. I'm sitting here right now with a killer headache, went to the Dr. have horse-pills to swallow and cough medicine, ugh, I'm in agony!! I hardly did any work today, so I guess I'll code myself a sick day (since I work from home, it's not a big deal, no commute, well if you don't count the stairs I have to walk down to get to my office). So why am I messing around with this web page when I feel so horrible??? I'M A BIG FAT IDIOT!!!! (just not as big and fat as I used to be...*LOL*). Anyway, we had a great time on vacation, went to Disney for just a day trip, went to a seafood buffet that we love (I don't go for the seafood, I go for the strawberry shortcake..lol) and Jack's parents came too, and loved it! I had "saved" myself for the strawberry shortcake, and went to town, only to regret it later. My eyes did not have surgery and I went and got a huge helping and regretted it later. I really didn't eat that much, but from the looks of my plate I sure intended to do a killing on that cake. Not sure it was dumping, but I felt really yucky for a little while. Went to see the IMAX version of Beauty and the Beast and also saw E.T. and Ice Age. If anyone wants to see ICE AGE and doesn't have small children to enjoy watching them crack up, save your $8 bucks!! Eating still is not great, but much better than it was, drinking lots of milk to get in more protein. I did have a small hotdog with the roll and ate the whole thing, and didn't get sick. It took a little while to get the whole thing down, but boy I felt like a regular person!! FYI, hot dogs are like my favorite food and it felt really good to eat that dog!!! I did lose weight over my vacation and I'm now down 75 pounds!!! Yep, gotta say, that makes me soooooooooo happy!! I've got over a week till my 4 month anniversary, so everything else is gravy for this milestone of 4 months!!! I had always hoped to be amazing and lose 100 pounds in 4 months, but that is not possible. I'm content with my own timeframe, for now!!! I hope I'm better tomorrow, cause right now I feel like CRAP!!!
That's all for now, gotta crawl into my bed and rest my pounding head...till next time.. |
